Success Stories

What can I say about our journey so far? Little did either of us know where it might lead to, way back in 2001. Certainly for me, it far exceeded any notions I may have had back then.

I came to you searching for something. I had lots of ideas and gifts but I was a little asleep, with an army inside waiting for instruction. The coaching woke the proverbial sleeping giant. If I were to pinpoint the qualities of that giant, it would be belief, focus and know-how.

You saw and believed in my abilities. You genuinely got excited about my potential and I started to wake up. You showed me where I was taking success sleeping pills through my inner and outer language and my ineffective beliefs and attitudes.

More than that, you gave me challenges and deadlines based on what I envisioned and stated as goals. You presented invaluable feedback on my dilemmas, ideas and results. Through the work with you, I realised the potency of planning and follow through. Your battle cry was " What are you doing to do right now?"

You blew on the sparks and helped rekindle my fire. Now, I have an internal coach reminding me in familiar sweet and sometimes hard tones. "Find out what you want, envision and get the job done!"

About Ann Kelly

In 1999, I was frustrated, stuck and didn't know which way to turn.   I was working in a large multinational company. Employing forty two thousand, it had merged with our successful, medium sized company of seventy-five people, in 1997. To top that, we merged again years later with an even larger corporation.

You can imagine the shock to the system as our entpreneurial culture was transformed slowly and painfully into a corporate one. I didn't know how to handle the situation or myself. I was like a bandit and was anything but strategic.

A journalist friend of mine had heard of life coaching. As it happened, her sister was friendly with a lady in Israel, who was training to be a life coach. We got in touch and Sara coached me by phone from Israel, for two years. They were two dramatic and life changing years. As she put me through my paces, I stopped compromising and took control of me. I stopped controlling others and outcomes. Slowly, I began to do only what I wanted to do and let go of a lot of things that were holding me back. I became more strategic.

To make a long story short, while I progressed within the corporation, I had finally found the work I wanted to do. I started coaching and left my job a year later.

Now, I help people to stop stopping themselves. My approach helps them become more buoyant and have much more energy. That way, they will find it easier to get more time for themselves and do what's important to them. Above all, they learn to take control of their lives, use their potential and shape their own destiny.

I'm Coach University trained; Professional Certified Coach by the International Coach Federation, PCC and an NLP Master Practitioner. I coach people across Europe by phone. With over 20 years experience in industry, I have a great deal of practical business and career knowledge to bring to my coaching. I'm Irish, currently living in Cork and have two children. Over the past 3 years, through coaching and my own determination to live according to my rules, I have left my job to run my own business. I love the freedom of being my own boss.

My motto is; Your World Your Way

When you are my client, my sense of humour helps you to relax and enjoy yourself. I'm passionate about my work and focused on you. I want you to have what you want and to enjoy the journey you take with me. My intention is to challenge you and support you to shape your own destiny and be the person you want to be.
